Nice hike, pretty viewpoint of the tall waterfall. Although I recommend to bring bug spray. They have some available for purchase. (I recommend this because there was mosquitoes)

Gorgeous hike! 1 mile from the overflow parking lot to the top. Slippery and ammonia little muddy, but nothing too crazy. Take your time and enjoy the incredible valley flora. 10/10!

This is an excellent way for everyone to see a beautiful Hawaii waterfall!  This is a paved walk up a gentle incline.  We didn’t use, the they also have electric carts available for those who can’t make the hike up.  The waterfall includes a spot to swim up close for great pics.  Life jackets are available for no charge.  There is a charge for admission but there is plenty to see and learn along the way.  As an added bonus, both times I’ve visited, I’ve seen the peacock on the way to the restroom.

Nice hike but the waterfall much dissapointing especially on a sunny days. And for those that hope to swim/bath in its waters... signs say the water is contaminated and what they fo not say on sunny days very shallow.

Nice short hike with steady elevation climb

Parking is paid at the lot entrance, there is one lower and upper lot.

Highly recommend to bring a poncho, umbrella, and waterproof clothing as this area experiences high levels of rainfall

The trail and get muddy and slippery, however the hike can be done within an hour with a brisk pace
